Donald Trump and all your lieutenants who ordered this ICE surge: watch the horrific video of the killing today. The world is watching. Thousands of citizens stopped and harassed. Local police no longer able to do their work. Kids hiding. Schools closed. Get ICE out of Minnesota NOW. And Republicans in congress: Stop your silence and stop being complicit.
9 yrs ago today my brother selflessly donated his kidney to me and saved my life for which I am forever grateful. There are so many that need a transplant so as a reminder please consider becoming a donor and #SaveALife. Thank you
Doing double duty and Wearing Red for Ed as we close up the Education Finance & Policy Conference Committee and vote for gun violence prevention today! @EducationMN@MomsDemand
Hourly school workers are flooding the Capitol for our final legislative day of action! Thank you to legislators meeting w/them on access to unemployment, paid training, paid e-learning days and paid leave. These professionals deserve no less! #mnleg#rESPect
No one who shapes the future of our state should qualify for food stamps or need multiple jobs to get by. One way to do better by our teachers? Set a minimum salary in state law. #mnleg#edmnvotes#fundourschools

With a $17.5 billion surplus, the time is NOW to fully fund public education this legislative session. Here's (some) of what that means. #mnleg#edmnvotes#fundourschools
Wednesday is Educator Retention Day in House Ed Policy!
Our ESP Bill of Rights gets its first hearing, as do bills guaranteeing time for teacher prep and due-process paperwork. Proven ways to keep more educators in the classroom. #mnleg#rESPect
I’m honored to welcome Heather Mathews as my guest for the 2023 State of the Union.
Heather has been a special education teacher for over 20 years at Southview Elementary in Apple Valley and is a relentless advocate for all our students and educators.
Welcome to DC, Heather!
In a culmination of 33 years in the classroom and 6 years on the Education Committee, I am honored to be the next Chair of the MN Senate Education Policy Committee. I can't wait to make real and important changes for MN's children and all those involved in our education systems.
I’d like Scott Jensen to tell these educators from Winona Education Association their schools are black holes, funding should be cut & they should aspire to be like Mississippi (no offense, friends in MS). The WEA and their students need fully funded schools. #GOTV#EdMNvotes
Our students deserve better. Our educators deserve better.
Early voting starts FRIDAY! Be a voter for candidates who will fully fund public education: https://t.co/Z1CHvskCrs #mnleg#edmnvotes#fundourfutures
This attack on educator voice and professional autonomy is similar to what we are seeing in other states. Thanks to our strong union, we can fight back.
Solidarity with the Becker Education Association!
